Glitter, grit, and a little bit of Broadway magic: meet Cara Rose DiPietro, NYC actor, TikTok queen, and real-life showgirl. Kellie chats with Cara about juggling tables and dance shoes, chasing big dreams while staying grounded, building a 300k+ social following, and using social media to open doors she never imagined. From mental health battles to living her best NYC showgirl life, Cara spills all the secrets to confidence, patience, and authenticity, plus how to do it all without losing your sparkle. 

Never too good for the odd jobs and always chasing the next spotlight, Cara is a Broadway-energy powerhouse to talk about what it really means to do both—juggling serving tables, performing on stage, and screen. Cara shares her secrets to balance in a city that never sleeps: time-blocking her days, setting boundaries, and making room for her mental health. She gets real about the struggles of being a working artist, battling an eating disorder, and learning patience in a world where “arrival” is never guaranteed.

From landing roles in the CBS series Elsbeth to performing in regional theatre across the country, she's equal parts relatable and aspirational. This episode is a love letter to the girlies chasing dreams, building confidence, and living their best NYC showgirl lives: think glitter, grit, and Taylor Swift energy rolled into one. 

If you’ve ever wondered how to hustle, shine, and still take care of yourself, Cara’s story is a masterclass in doing it all without losing yourself. Girlies, this one’s for you—glam up, grab your coffee, and get ready to slay the day.
